mmCIF-parser

This package contains a function useful for the parsing of PBDx/mmCIF files into JSON. Simply import the function "parse_mmCIF" and pass a text file as an argument.

import parse_mmCIF from "mmcif-parser"

const PDB = parse_mmCIF(text)

console.log(PDB)

The function returns the parsed file in the following format:
